After a good week of bounce back production. Sunday proved to be less than ideal for Atlanta.Braves News: Atlanta Loses To Mets in Walk-Off Fashion, Austin Riley Injury, more
However, Sunday was not that fun for Atlanta. Not only did the Braves lose to the Mets thanks to a walk-off home run by Brandon Nimmo, they also are awaiting more information after Austin Riley left the game with tightness in his left side. Obviously, if Riley were to be out for any extended period of time, it would have a major impact on the Braves lineup. A bit of positive news is that, as Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports, the Braves do not feel Riley’s injury is initially as bad as the oblique strain that has kept Sean Murphy sidelined since the first game of the season.
Fortunately, the Braves return home and will be there all week to face the Cubs and the Padres. Hopefully, they will be able to continue to find ways to win at Truist Park.
